October 6, 2024, Ikebana exhibit finally approached at Talamore Country Club, Ambler, PA. I was invited by BuxMount Study Group to participate in the Shanghai Association Greater Philadelphia annual gala. There were only six pieces of Ikebana style arrangements, the center pieces and other arrangements were western style. What a different scene! (200+ people attended)
“In Love with Fall” (秋色宜人) was my title for this arrangement. After all it is autumn season, gorgeous scenery right now! I used a lot of Chrysanthemums, golden maple, azalea, nandina and bittersweet for final touch. Mitsumata on two ceramic containers, carefully arranged all together, displayed on a six foot table.
